Best free workflow management software - Top 5 tools

By Josh Hall

A streamlined workflow is vital if you want to stay productive.

Workflowy

If you want a simple, fuss-free way of making lists, Workflowy might well be for you. The starkly designed site only
does one thing, but it does it very well: it allows you to make tiered,
text-based lists of anything you like.

Springpad

Springpad claims to offer “really smart
notebooks”. The site allows you to organise text notes and tasks, while
a browser applet enables you to ‘clip’ almost anything you find on the
internet, and save it to your Springpad. All your notes and clips can
then be arranged in individual notebooks.

TeuxDeux

As the name suggests, TeuxDeux is a souped-up
to-do list. It enables you to split your tasks by day, and also provides
a ‘someday bucket’ for longer-term goals without a specific completion
date. But perhaps the best thing about TeuxDeux is its simple,
beautifully designed interface – nice to look at, and easy to use.

Bomerang

If you ever find yourself drafting emails to be sent later on,
Boomerang is for you. This simple Chrome addon
allows Gmail users to schedule message delivery – and, just as usefully,
it will remind you to come back to important messages in your inbox
later on.

Freedcamp

There is a vast an ever-growing number of project management tools
available, but many are bloated and others are expensive.
Freedcamp offers a simple, free way to
collaborate on projects and stay organised, all with an intuitive
interface.
